One-Stop Service Centers for OFWs (OSSCO)

In pursuance to DOLE Memorandum dated 05 August 2016 (Annex A), the DOLE RO 5 spearheaded the establishment of the One-Stop Service Centers for OFWs (OSSCO) to provide accessible frontline services and ensure that all requirements needed by the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), OFW returnees, their families and the public are housed in one location for accessibility and convenience.

OSHC together with other 20 participating organizations have agreed to jointly undertake the setting-up of OSSCO to house under one roof a menu of frontline services and to fully cooperate to ensure the effective implementation and operations of the center.

Mr. Andayog manned the DOLE RCC cubicle at the center on January 12 and provided information about occupational safety and health trainings to OFWs, distributed advocacy materials for and answered queries on its programs and services.
